A normal coach with a head on his shoulders would have dressed the twins rendering Hartleys plan useless, but Torts is too stupid for that.

True dat. Come to think of it, if Torts felt those guys were going to jump the twins, Torts could have just played some expendable players. Maybe put 1 fighter (Sestito) out there and add in Richardson-Boothy.

Nice to see MayRay score a goal, but unfortunately it was on us. U know it must have felt good for him to get that 1, big goal too. He has 16Gs on the year now, that's more than Dank. Will Dank even get 20Gs this year? Pretty bad for a player who plays 1st line minutes and 1st line PP every nite. Anyways, nice to see MayRay get his career back on the right track, he's also playing with better players and a better team, which helps a lot.

The only hing worse than trying to watch this game was trying to watch the Canadian coverage of the Olympics. Between Ron McLean and all the commercials they are pretty unbearable. I feel like I'm watching one big F'ing commercial, even on their app!!!

Enjoy the break. We have our work cut out for us when we get back. Let's hope no Canucks get injured, that our injured recover in time to return after the break, that Kassian doesn't put on too much weight and MG and crew come up with a plan.

Somehow I think if we make the playoffs MG will breath easier and when we get knocked out first round the injury excuse will reign. Of course that's if we make the playoffs.

I think Torts is an average (or slightly above) coach with a below average team (given the almost unbelievable injuries), and a below average GM.

If I had to guess I'd say Daniel is hurt pretty badly.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have been playing very good hockey without the services of arguably the 2nd best player in the game after Crosby - Steven Stamkos. No excuses. I was at the Stamkos less Lightning game here where they beat us, a well coached team of nobodies, big, fast, young and strong, but what struck me most, the Lightning seemed to be playing for their coach while our players weren't, we look confused out there

Gillis and Torts need to go, bottom line

Then watch NBC instead. I think the opening ceremonies is just started on there.

With a core he inherited. But now that the core is becoming old hat and that he hasn't added any significant core pieces to the forward group we find ourselves no longer playing at an elite level. Nice work Mike
